“I have been working with HR Consultants for several years now, with them supporting HR interim placements at my second company. I particularly value the cooperation because their extensive HR expertise and the breadth and depth of their candidate pool mean that I usually receive suitable profiles very quickly. These profiles are a very good fit and become productive very quickly, as expected. HR Consultants are my first choice for interim placements.”

An Interim CHRO is an experienced executive who temporarily assumes overall responsibility for the HR function, combining operational excellence with strategic foresight.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Managing the global or local HR strategy
  • Supporting change management and transformation processes
  • Responsibility for People & Culture and talent management
  • Optimizing compensation systems and workforce planning
  • Ensuring compliance with employment and labor law

An Interim CHRO from HR Consultants brings in-depth expertise in areas such as:

  • Organizational development
  • Employer branding
  • Leadership development
  • HR digitalization

An Interim CHRO provides particular value when external expertise and immediate execution capabilities are required.

Covering a Sudden Vacancy or Until a Permanent Replacement Is Found

When the current role holder leaves, an Interim Manager ensures continuity and prepares the ground for a permanent replacement.

Post-Merger Integration

Following a merger, HR systems and corporate cultures need to be harmonized – a classic assignment for an experienced expert who is accustomed to managing complex situations.

Restructuring

During challenging periods, an Interim CHRO acts as an objective third party who can implement difficult decisions professionally and effectively.

Day rates for an Interim CHRO typically range from €1,800 to €2,800, depending on the complexity of the assignment and the size of the company.

We value complete transparency: our pricing is fair and based on the actual added value and seniority of the Interim Manager. This removes unnecessary hurdles and provides a clear basis for calculating your project costs.

Flexible Contract Models & No Hidden Costs

We work with an open and transparent pricing model: before every assignment, you know how the day rate is calculated and which terms and conditions apply. This means no surprises, but full cost predictability – from the initial discussion through to the end of the assignment.

Choosing an Interim CHRO gives your company greater flexibility. An Interim CHRO brings fresh perspectives from outside, has no internal history or organizational bias, and focuses entirely on achieving the defined objectives.

Key benefits for companies include:

  • Fast placement of critical HR leadership positions
  • Experience from comparable business situations
  • Neutral and independent perspective
  • Both operational and strategic support
  • High flexibility for temporary requirements

Since 1998, we have specialized in recruitment and placement in the HR sector. We have successfully filled numerous positions at C-level, management and expert level – in mid-sized companies, corporations and international organizations.
